It is significant architecturally as an example of housing popular among lower to middle income Black workers in Columbus, built economically with a little gingerbread added to follow popular styles.","narrative":"This small frame house at 1619 Third Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, dates to about 1889 and follows the shotgun cottage form. It has one story, a rectangular plan, a hipped roof, a central chimney and a porch across the front with chamfered columns and gingerbread brackets. The walls are weatherboard over a brick pier foundation, and the front has a single-leaf entrance with a transom and two four-over-four windows. It sits in an uptown neighborhood of similar homes. City directories show early residents included a dyer and a mill worker at Eagle and Phenix Mills and a fireman for the Central of Georgia Railroad. The house was apparently built for people working in the mills and railroads. It is considered significant locally for that history and for representing conservative, economical housing favored by lower to middle income Black workers, with modest decoration added to match current tastes. It remains in rental residential use in fair condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian Shotgun Cottage","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in fair condition; current use is residential rental property.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.59944-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001138.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"04000669","name":"High Uptown Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/high-uptown-historic-district-04000669/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206406","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_at_1619_Third_Avenue","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85749443"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/building-at-1619-third-avenue-80001138/"}
